We’ve all seen the movies, tv shows, read the comics, or even played with the action figures of the heroes created to inspire us. Although in the movies they always possess some sort of magical ability that helps them save the world from absolute destruction as our own real-world goes through various times of need the hero complex is something we all aspire to be able to rise up too. Luckily, there are those among us who step up and have the ability to become the hero that lives within each of us.

So who is the man behind the mask?

The man actually prefers not to be identified! Not only does he wear the full batman suit but also one that coheres to COIVD-19 safety precautions by wearing a facemask as well. Just as a true batman would.
